GOLDEN PAVILION (8) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at fairview over 7f on january 24. Sure to make his presence felt. WHATEVER NEXT (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when he worked home well but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. EYJAFJALLAJOKULL (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 29/11/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 7f at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. DUBAI HILLS (7) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
